Product Description
Agastache 'Bolero'
Common name: Hyssop-Anise.
Zones 5 to 10.
Full sun.
Plants reach 16 inches tall and 16 inches wide.
Growth rate: Moderate, Easy to grow.
One of the longest blooming perennials, vivid rose purple flower spikes rise above the bronzy green foliage. Forms a compact, branched clump of aromatic, slug and deer resistant foliage. From midsummer into fall, plants are topped by a plethora of brightly colored flower spikes which add a bright spot of color to the landscape. Flowers bloom from midsummer to early fall and are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
While easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, Agastache is best planted in full sun and slightly alkaline soil. Lanky growth may occur in too much shade. The most critical factor is good drainage. This plant will NOT tolerate wet soil, especially in winter. When planting in questionable drainage areas, place a thick layer of gravel in the bottom of the hole and then mix more in with the filler soil. Native to the southwest US and Mexico, it is naturally heat and drought tolerant.
